Meeting people in bars?

Why do bars always get such a bad rap as places to meet people? Is it just because there is alcohol there? Come on...alcohol is pretty much everywhere these days. I know people who met at work...but guess what, they usually hooked up or got things started at a work party where they were drinking. Even if you meet someone online, chances are you go out and get drinks...people who meet in college and go on to get married quite often met at a party.





Now of course there are people who find there true love at a place like church or some really perfectly purely innocent place where no evil things like alcohol are involved...but i guess i'm tired of hearing people say that bars are a bad place to meet someone...especially when many people do meet someone there





Just wanted to add that i'm single...not dating someone i met in a bar (:

You can meet good people anywhere and bad people anywhere.


I once dated a guy that i met at church and he was the biggest player. Then I have met guys out at bars and they were very sweet and kind.
Reply:Alcohol is not evil, even Jesus drank wine. It's the ABUSE of alcohol that is the problem.
Reply:Because a lot of people go out to bars to pick up, get a root, then that's the end of it! And sometimes their one-night stand becomes a multiple-night stand but in the end it's only because it's convenient that they will have guaranteed action as a result! They probably don't really have as good a quality relationship as other people who came together through mutual interests other than drunken sex!
Reply:It's not the bar that's bad - it's the people.





A lot depends on how you present yourself and what kind of people hang out at the place too... but if you are a discerning person - a bar is a fine place to meet someone. I've done it.
Reply:Ha ha I've never met anyone at a bar,not that I have'nt tried!But see this is my dilema they are too ugly so I have another drink and I keep drinking until I'm drunk and fall down and I'm no good after that cuz by then I just wanna go home and pass out..I have met men at clubs usually on a packed dance floor..yeah those guys are usually too young for me to date long term..if you can meet someone at a bar more power to you and be careful some of those guys look rough and look like they've been through hell!
Reply:Why do you think alcohol is evil? Too much can cause problems but too much of anything causes problems.








bars are labled as bad places to meet people because you dont go to a bar to meet your true love, you go to meet a one night stand (if anyone).





The best place to meet someone is through a friend of a friend of a friend. (which can happen at a bar) Branch out and make as many friends as you can. You never know when a friend will bring out a neibor who has a cousin who has a friend who turns out to be someone special to you.
